    Every social group develops their own code words to identify themselves with that group.This is part of the study of semiotics.
    Jws have many code words.Then there are semiotics for apostates. I'll start the lists. I'd appreciate help finishing these lists.

    I have been avoiding certain code words for years that's how they know I'm not programed correctly. They chalk it up to not being raised in the T. I know it's because I'm rebellious and refuse to belong to a mindless group. The WT is written on a 5th grade level. When I use words they don't know I'm Worldy. I even rebel against apostate semiotics. I know, I'm really bad association.There's one to start.

    I love BOrglyn...and the BOrganization...although I doubt that many other 'Apostates' use those words...BORG in general is a nice, fitting term for Dubs.

    Isn't DUB just so much quicker to type than Witness or Jehovah's Witness? ARAGGH! Just typing those words makes me want to flame somebody
